Trainz TS12 SP Cab Forward AC-12

Best viewed in full screen and HD. The video runs for nine minutes.
There are a number of iconic North American steam locomotives. The list includes the UP Big Boy, the PRR T1 and half a dozen or so more.
Included in the list must be the Southern Pacific Cab Forward.
The SP Cab Forward was introduced to deal with a peculiar problem of the SP route - the 39 long tunnels and nearly 40 miles of snow sheds on the SP route through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Running conventional steam locomotive on this route resulted in dangerous exhaust fumes entering the cab, making an extremely dangerous environment for locomotive crews.
Placing the cab at the front of the locomotive overcame this problem.
This video shows a SP AC-12 Cab Forward at the head of a rake of box cars on the RiversideRailroadCo. The consist heads out of the yards and onto the main line before pausing at a wayside stop where the video ends.

I used LieLestoSbrat's LNER N2 (on the Trainz Download Station) steam locomotive as a template.

Love the sound but where are the air compressor blow offs? That would make the cab forwards signature sound for sure. If that were there I would give your and A++++ but an A is just going to have to do for you. LOL.. Good vid bud.
